We're having some issues with our excel files.  I'm an accountant and it's year end and it's very fraustrating.

 

We employe many large excel worksheets for calculating large amounts of data. Many of these worksheets are linked to each other. We tried to refresh our links and recalculate the worksheets but they constantly freeze up and/or crash. Sometimes it takes over an hour to recalculate a file that only took 30 seconds a months ago. We think it might have to do with the fact that our IT department compressed our drive. Can compressing the drive cause major excel issues? And how should I go about fixing it?

There is not likely an easy fix.

If you dont have backups from before the "slowdown" the only real fix (100% sure fire) will be to recreate the files in new spreadsheets.

Whats "large"?

Let's say 12 tabs. 45 rows by 45 columns in each tab and linked to other similar files. Probably total of around 60 excel files but not all connected to one another. I'd say 12mb of data per worksheet max. Some are only 2mb.

If they moved the files when compressing, then the slow down may be from it trying to locate the data. Try reentering the formulas to recreate the data paths. You may also just copy the data into a new excel file, and start again with new uncompressed files. 

 

Please note: I am not an IT person, but I do work with excel quite a bit.

      I am pretty mellow over here. Getting ready to eat some wings. Couldn’t help but notice your question so I responded… We get trolls like you making statements in the form of stupid questions every now and then. You are trying to say we don’t talk about anything other than Bryce Young here and rather than explain reality I will just agree with you so you will be happy.

      Do you think somebody like me who's a 40 year old millennial never had to program a VCR, let myself in to the house in the afternoon before my parents got home, operate a microwave, or be tech support for the entire fam-hang on, my aunt is calling me.  She clicked the wrong link again and a popup took over her screen.

      unfortunately not my man, this place has been taken over by the same several posters that somehow don't work or have families so they spend every waking moment hating on bryce for some reason. I discovered the ignore button though and its made things slightly more enjoyable for when I have a spare 5 minutes to browse the huddle. go head and ignore the following users and watch your huddle experience improve ten fold: strato frankw oldham pootienunu jfra78 electros horse linvillegorge mrcompletley
